Which code does this activity belong in?

Flight training establishments offer aviation and flight instruction to students seeking either vocational certification or recreational training. The boundary with apprenticeship training in NAICS 611513 lies in structure: flight training schools deliver instruction focused on aviation competency, while apprenticeship programs combine applied training with formal course work as integrated components. Other technical and trade schools classified in NAICS 611519 cover job-specific vocational training in fields such as bartending, truck driving, and broadcasting, but exclude the specialized domain of aviation and flight instruction.
